How Did They Make This Cool Menu?
I'm trying to figure out how to make this menu from this site.
http://www.patrick-farrell.com/flash/home.html
It is animated, so that when you scroll your mouse right or left, it moves right or left.
Could you explain to me how this is done, or refer me to a good example fla of this?
Thanks.
Also...what is the appropriate name for a menu like this, if I were to search for one.
Thanks.

How Did They Make This Cool Menu?
Once and for all, I'd like to figure out how this menu was done.
http://www.twinphotographie.com/
Basically, every button you click loads a new picture. The drop shadow surrounding each picture resizes with every click...via actionscript.
How is this achieved? I'd love to have a simple break down of it, and or a working sample of a couple of buttons altering a movie clip in just such a way.
Can you help me ??
Thanks,

Linking Problems W/ Cool Menu FX Menu
Hi, I have a Flash site that I created a side menu for using Cool Menu FX and can be viewed at the link below:
http://www.graphicdesign-nh.com/fc2/fcflashsite.html
The menu loads externally in the Flash site using the LoadMovie command. I set up links for the side menu buttons using Cool Menu FX to go to specific frame labels specified as named anchors (ie., fcflashsite.html#howworks) in the Flash site file. If the menu file is opened in Macromedia Player, the buttons work in that they open the browser window and it goes to the correct anchor label in the Flash site file. However, when the menu is viewed in the site as in the above URL the buttons don't work at all. Any ideas what is wrong? It seems like something simple. Please let me know. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

How Do You Make Cool Buttons?
I went through beginner tutorial that shows how to make a button with a movie clip. Create a Roll Over tween, a Stop Tween, and a Roll Out Tween.
What about when the user clicks on the button? I don't want it to go back to the normal state. I want it to stay highlighted until the user clicks a different button.
How do you do that?
Also, are most people using action script to make buttons move or are they using the timeline to make there own movie clip buttons? Thanks.

How Did They Make This Cool Preloader..?
http://www.devontracey.com/away.html
Basically, I love the fact that it eases out, and fades out as it reaches the end. It is a very smooth effect.
If you refresh the page, it will do it again.
How can I recreate this type of preloader? All the preloaders I have seen are clunky and don't have an easing effect like this.
Thanks.

Help With Trying To Make A Cool Intro Page
Well first off just wanted to say hi to everyone and thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out with my question. Here we go. What i want to do is for an intro page i am going to have a turbo with the impeller facing forward
basically this picture, or something that might work better
Then what i am looking to do is that when you mouse over the impeller the blade will actually spin and have a sound like a turbo spooling up and then if you take the mouse off of it there will be a sound like a blow off valve going off. Then when you click on the impeller you get taken into the site. Is this possible?? Thanks.
How To Make Cool Zoom-effects?
Hello
I would like to learn how to make some cool/different zoom effects. It could be a picture or just a box created in Flash. I've seen some nice-looking effects, where the picture almost blurred out when i zoomed in or out. And one more thing, the movement! How to make an object move with different speed, e.g. faster in the beginning and slower at the end. I tried to look through these forums and through the tutorials here, but nothing came close to what I looked for. Could anyone in here direct me to a site or some other place where I can learn these skills?'
Regards

How Would I Make These Extra Cool Tags?
I was just on the rapper E-40s website, and noticed on the bottom a really cool navigation menu shaped like dog tags. when you roll over them, they follow the mouse, then when you move the mouse, they jiggle back and forth until they stop. here is the website: http://www.e-40.com/ . Can someone tell me how to do this? I know it would be hard, but think this will add a little flava to my site. Thanks :D

Cool Menu
Hi,
I am trying to make a menu similar to the one on
http://www.zara.com
I have made my own version of this but to make the menu come down
i had to make the whole square a button, and thus the cursor will
turn into a pointing hand even when im not on a link on the menu.
How do i NOT make the "moving menu" a button but still lets it
come down while i roll the cursor over it (and the cursor continues
like an arrow)
Thanks
